ui/vdagent: core infrastructure

The vdagent protocol allows the guest agent (spice-vdagent) and the
spice client exchange messages to implement features which require
guest cooperation, for example clipboard support.

This is a qemu implementation of the spice client side.  This allows
the spice guest agent talk to qemu directly when not using the spice
protocol.

usage: qemu \
  -chardev qemu-vdagent,id=vdagent \
  -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0

This patch adds just the protocol basics: initial handshake and
capability negotiation.  The following patches will add actual
functionality and also add fields to the initially empty
ChardevVDAgent qapi struct.
